Traditionally, a wedding list would include things like crockery sets and silverware for the bride and groom's new home together.

But now, newlyweds are increasingly rejecting material gifts and instead asking their guests to contribute to a honeymoon fund.

However, the new trend - which has seen searches for the term 'honeymoon fund' rise by 200 per cent on Pinterest - has been slammed by people online for being 'tacky' and 'greedy'.

A debate was launched on Mumsnet after one user questioned whether she should be paying towards one couple's £15,000 honeymoon - which she described as a 'holiday of a life-time'.

A debate was launched on Mumsnet after one user questioned whether she should be paying towards one couple's £15,000 honeymoon - which she described as a 'holiday of a life-time'

Other users immediately criticised the bride and groom, arguing they were 'taking advantage'

One described their decision to set up a honeymoon fund as 'tacky', adding 'What a grasping world we now live in'

Meanwhile, others suggested that it was 'greedy' and said they would get them something else on purpose

Posting under jafitife, she wrote: 'Upon receiving the invite we were asked if we could contribute to the -very luxurious- honeymoon of their dreams, which we have.

'The guests can choose which items they can purchase for them such as trips, champagne breakfasts, limo transfer, plush meals in restaurants, currency for the multiple countries they will be visiting, airport transfers, flights etc and it totals roughly £15000.'
